low fat

If any iconic duo could scream “FALL!!!” in your face, I think a contender would be Apples and Cinnamon. Today’s recipe combine’s the two fabulous ingredients into an actually-pretty-darn-good-for-ya treat that’s perfect for the chillier days ahead!

As I’m sure y’all very well know, I much prefer sweet foods as opposed to their savory counterparts. This fact reigns true when it comes to breakfasts and snacks, too!

At the risk of sounding silly, I have to say that this simple bowl of roasted veggies has been about the most complex meal I’ve been able to conjure in the last week or two… I just haven’t had the thyme! 😉

I’m sure you’re all well aware by my recent posts that I’ve started a new semester at SDSU. I’m also sure most of you are are aware that I have literally the biggest sweet tooth in the world. Here today I have some Vegan Vanilla Muffins (made with Spaghetti Squash) that oddly encompass every theme in my life at the present moment (okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but hear my logic).

Y’all know I’m not usually about that store bought dressing life, but what happens when things get a little bit unconventional? I was looking to make something out of my usual comfort zone… something ITALIAN.

Let’s talk for a minute about classics. No, I’m not talking about MKTO’s hit song, despite the fact that it’s refusing to leave my mind as I write this post. What I’m (trying) to talk about, is dishes, or foods in general, that bring you back to your roots. Foods that just bring you a little bit of mental peace. Not necessarily “comfort foods,” but foods that give you comfort.

Motto of the day: It’s my BIRTHDAY and I’ll eat as much CHOCOLATE as I WANT TO! If you hadn’t guessed it by now, today is indeed my birthday, and yes, I’m going to be eating a lot of chocolate. Actually, I initially made these cookies two days ago thinking they’d last till today (I was wrong). What can I say… we’re a chocolate-loving household.

If you’re reading this worried that I won’t get my sweet fix for the day, don’t fret! I have all the supplies to make another batch of these bad boys in my pantry later today 😉

Sustainability!

All the VEGAN Food On-Campus at SDSU

If you read my post about the Basics of Surviving in College as a Vegan, you know that eating on campus is both inevitable and probably in your best interest sometimes. Here I’ve laid out a San Diego State University specific guide for myself and all my fellow Aztecs, so we can eat ~freely~ and…
